Hair Fair 2013 Cloud Sim

I finally got into Hair Fair. I have to say, when the legos were small, they didn't look so imposing and glaringly bright. But it was an event to help children, so I guess legos make sense.

I thought I would do 1 sim at a time. There was a lot of great looking hair on the Cloud sim and if I had not made all sorts of excuses(like this hair looks similar to the one I have or this hair is too stiff even if it's pretty and this hair looks good only for photography blah blah blah), I would have spend more. I am trying very hard not to be spendthrift because I had already spend a lot on furnitures and then there were textures I had to get for the new house I am building.

Moon is wearing Lelutka Lorella. It comes with a wreath but I am using the Alice bow instead.

This hair looks so cute and fun, I had to have it. It's from a store I have never heard of before Xplosion Jules.

Right now I'm working on a modern contemporary house with swimming pool and even a garage! I know, pretty ambitious but I had to see if I could do it. That's the pool in both pictures. I haven't aligned the textures yet. Aligning textures are so tedious.

Is it time to grow up yet?

Today is my birthday.
First thing I notice is, nothing has changed much over the year. I still try to please people, adapt myself to whatever that pleases them and then feel miserable for doing so. In my real life, I have minimized doing this so why am I bringing my bad habit into SL? It's important for people who are special to me to like me, but should they also not like me for whatever I am and how I project my avatar? It's alright to compromise a little, but to do it till I loose all zest for slife, is it worth it? Do I have to be boringly normal in SL too? Like right now I just want to dress my avatar like an elven with pale skin and otherworldly look. In rl I can't project my artsy self but in SL, anything goes and when I think about it, being an elf is not so way out there. It's just the pointy ears.
If I can love them for what they are, warts and all, why can they not do that for me?

Today I want to be a mer-elf. Is there such a thing? It's SL and I can have my avatar looking anyway I want to. It is my fantasy.

Furnishing a home

Choosing furnitures is tough.
Especially when I already have the ones I love, but I'm beginning to get bored with the same chairs, same sofas, same beds in every houses I make so yesterday I decided to splurge a lot of lindens on furnitures sets from The Loft. I like sets. That way I don't have to think about the combinations. Also, individual pieces usually get forgotten in the inventory and I can't remember what I've bought.

I thought of getting a formal-looking set for the living area but sometimes formal is boring even if it fits in with this dormer house.

An ante-room for cold days:)

That can lead to the outside. I love huge windows that lets in lots of light. Not good for cold weathers I know but this is SL so I don't want to think about that kind of logic.

By the time I got to the bedroom, I got tired of decorating.....

This is not your everyday noodles

Moon is wearing Noodles Pastel a subscriber gift from Essence. The skin is such a popular brand right now and who can blame people for falling in love with the cute and adorable skins. They remind me of Curio Moonbeam Breeze which was Moon's skin back in 2009.

Back then I was role-playing a young girl so the skin was appropriate but now that I no longer role-play, I don't want to maneuver a young-looking avatar anymore.

But I still want to play dress-up and I'm still in my elven mood.

I see bikinis everywhere I go

These are some of the mesh bikinis I collected which doesn't cost a thing. They're from the Endless Summer Hunt, Starfish Hunt and the last piece was from the Summer Festival.
The only problem is Moon doesn't get to wear them often unless I want to take a pic of her swimming in the sea or posing like this. Which is why when I think about buying swimsuits for her, I will always end up not buying. I'm really grateful to have these for free.

July birthday GG

This is a brithday gift from AnaLee Balut of ALB Dream Fashion. Only in SL does the birthday person give presents. Hope you have a good birthday AnaLee Balut. I love the cheerfulness of the colours and the swirls of the skirt. This gown has a mesh corset and it's great to see the combination of flexi and mesh.
